In recent times Zoltán Kallós is one of the most prominent
and important figures in folk music research and collection in the
Carpathian Basin.
Here Kallós sings songs from his own field work,
accompanied by Ökrös Group. The selections represent nearly every area
of Transylvania inhabited by Hungarians: Szilágyság, Kalotaszeg, Mezőség,
Gyimes and Moldavia.
Born in Válaszút (Kolozs country, in Transylvania) in 1926, Zoltán Kallós follows in the tradition of Bartok and Kodaly researching and collecting folk music from within the region known as the Carpathian Basin.
His interest in the folk music of this area started while still at school, and he has
collected and researched the music since the late 1940s. Around the 1960s he started recording folk music in the various places he had previously studied, and it is these
recordings that make up the Kallós Archive. In addition to these field recordings he has himself recorded the songs he collected with the ensembles Okros and Teka.
A forerunner to the Tanchaz (Dance House) folk revival of the 1970s in Hungary he was awarded the "Tree of Life" Prize in 1990, the Pro Hungarian Art Prize in 1993, and the Kossuth Award in 1996.
